My decision:

[conuly]

Well, after careful thought, I've decided I'll probably get a "something to chew on" for being in public, and I might get a baby teether for at night, since I really do wake up with chewed up cheeks and Figgy's story scared me. *shudders*

Thanks all.

Sorry for the scare! But it is a danger, especially if you tend to forget what you're doing and aren't very sensitive to pain like I am. It's really unpleasant to hurt yourself like that. So chewy things should be good.

Figgy, I know I mentioned this to you before, but have you considered reading the posts on asperger? Or, um, anything like that?

I don't have any links... and I'm not sure why that is but I know mouth guards specifically for people who grind their teeth during the night exist. Or, should I say, I've also heard about people just using the regular old athletic kind too. I've thought about investing in one and I know I've read the LJs of people who had good luck with them. I think the idea should translate to biting too.

(grrr. i is gud riter tonight *head desk* sorry about the grammar)

*giggles* See, I bite my cheeks because I'm scared of grinding my teeth. At least at night. During the day I bite my cheeks because it's comforting. I think the teether idea is simpler, because I know exactly where to get them.
